Congrats!

I have only worked for two companies throughout my career and I never encountered a situation where I had to get my boss to approve me putting my name in for a new job or promotion. Seems selfish and counterproductive. Is this common practice nowadays? Succession planning was always part of our HR plans which seemed to address these issues.

Being retired, it clearly has no impact on me but just a question out of curiosity.
